You're doing a great job! Public fishing areas are never really hidden most of the time. Over the years someone has fished that special spot you thought only you know about. There is no preventing people from fishing public areas anyway. Besides....enjoy and try to teach others to preserve the area which you yourself enjoy because that's the most anyone can do when it comes to those hidden spots. There will always be people who abuse the privilege we all enjoy. Some of the best fishing I saw from classic videos by Bill Dance and Roland Martin were places and lures they taught us all how to use on television. Because of them I try to teach through my own videos. Keep up the good work.
Fantastic! Used to fish those same spots and the Brunswick up to the bridge when I lived downtown from 03' - 16'...I threw nothing, but Rat-l-traps and fat 6" curly tail grubs and was very productive 90% of the time. Something about the Rat-l-traps around laydowns and stumps. Fished the canals this past December on a very windy day and only caught 3 Reds on a deep point before the entrance of the canals if you know where I mean. They were stacked, but keeping a bite hooked was an issue. Take care
@@interminablyperplexed4903 might have to try that out! I know what you mean… the bigger reds have no problem finding something to wrap your line around
That's a great day of fishing. I believe I was your 450th subscriber. Never seen a Red caught on a craw but the thought has crossed my mind to throw it several times.
Fun video. Want to chase some reds but haven’t worked up the nerve to put my bass boat in saltwater. I’d ignore the comments about giving out location. If someone doesn’t already know there are redfish around Wilmington they’re not going to be heading out there anyway. lol.
@@fowlplayoutdoors68 water is definitely saltier than it normally is down that way this year, but I would think you’d be alright with the bass boat…them guys fishing the tournaments run theirs in that area or through it to get to town creek. Appreciate it!
Hey Great video.... looks like the Cooper River here in my neck of the woods, I'm about to redo the fronof my 18ft Lowes boat and get a new Trolling motor and Livescope I do a little of everything here mostly Bass and Crappie in fresh water, then Trout, Reds and Sheepshead in the the Saltwater... if you don't mind me asking what would you put on the front of the boat ? I Thank you for any help or tips you can share
Been wanting to try out the bass fishing there… I’m running a 24v 80lb thrust Minn Kota terrova, lv34 garmin livescope with a garmin 106sv unit powered by a amped outdoors 14.8v 48 ah lithium battery. I have been extremely pleased with everything, only thing I may would change if I could go back would be to spend the extra money and get an ultrex. Just depends on how much you are wanting to spend…everything has got me by to do a little bit of everything so I have been happy with it
@@tomroper9867 i prefer a 7ft MH- fast action tip… that one in particular is an ark rod - Cobb series. If you aren’t fishing in tight spots maybe even a 7’3” would be good. Reel is an old chronarch with 17 lb seugar invisx but anything with around a 7:3:1 gear ratio would work just fine!
I have done very well with spinnerbaits for reds in the river. Usually stay south once it warms up, but reds in dirty water love those things. Question - do you feel there is an advantage to having a spinner bait with two spoons on it vs one? Might not sink as well as one but would likely create more flash/vibration
@@jmnorris50 funny you ask that, I was going to do a separate video on it… I am 100% convinced now after a month the double blade gets more bites. I’ve ran both and like you said I guess the flash/ vibration is better. I mainly bass fish so I’ve tried a handful of different brands and so far a war eagle spinnerbait holds up the best (normally get 15-20 drum before the wire breaks) still trying to find a double blade that is as durable as the redfish magic
@@aljohnson1191 2017 Alweld 1756 center console marsh edition powered by a 70hp Yamaha 4 stroke. I’ve had it for about 4 years now and have been extremely happy with it…fishes two people comfortably but does start to feel crowded with 3 or 4.
@@bigbear607 I get you, but man, spend a little time in the intercoastal and you can see what it will end up looking like. Your vids are enjoyable, but what makes many of these fisheries special is that they aren't over run. Just understand that every local viewer will be in those spots.
@@gushertz2696 I try my best not to, I get that one area is pretty obvious if someone has been there before but to me it’s a pretty common area. All the other areas are extremely difficult to decipher anything… there is miles upon miles of rice ditches and not just everyone can get up in them or atleast the ones I’ve been in. My goals for the videos are to help people…they can use the same pattern on their own areas they find.
Nice work! Got to love the deep bronze colors of these brackish water Reds.
I don’t know much about bass fishing so this was a cool take on it. Keep it up dude.

I appreciate it! Yeah I’m sure it looks like a crab to them… I was using a green pumpkin/ blue color
Damn man... you caught a flat day on the ol cape fear, nice work. IMO the days are numbered for front facing sonar.
Heading down to Fort Fisher on Sunday finally getting a weather break been pretty good there!
@@LeadMunitions good luck to ya!
You've used evey bass fishing technique out there! I was wondering if the same baits would work, i guess I know now! Great video
@@ManningTheOutdoors they certainly do! Still trying to get one on a frog… had some bite it, but haven’t landed one yet

What part of the Cape Fear river are you fishing? I don’t see any Wilmington backgrounds?
@@erichardie5247 Cape Fear/ Brunswick/ NE Cape Fear….nothing further than 5 miles from downtown
Great day of catching. If you ever want to do some collaboration videos, let me know. I definitely subbed your channel.
@@adventureswithken1983 might have to do that sometime! Appreciate it
Isn't that fresh water though?
@@brett7794 typically it is mostly fresh…at the time we hadn’t had much rain and it was very salty
@easternoutdoors910 born and raised in that area on the other side lol 😉
Whelp, there goes that fishery. Maybe a little less specific on locations. . .
Just because you know where doesn't mean you can catch em. Lol

@@bigbear607 they say the hardest fish to catch is another man’s fish!
@@easternoutdoors910 Just a simple suggestion - remove reference to river/town/state.
